I"m really glad you guys like it!!!! and thank you to all who have +repped me.
Small update today.
I built a small verticle support for the end of the rotating panel.
Then I laid the clear side over to mark out where to cut the openeing.
5 minutes later with a dremel, and Voila. an opening cut in the panel.
Here you can see it in the closed position with the panel on.
here you can see it with it opened partially. -Fully opened looks the same as it is when closed.
Then for lateral stability, I cut a small section of the scrap from part of the case that had one of those brass threaded inserts in it and glued it to the side. then I drilled and counter sunk a hole in the side of the case. This will hold the end so it doesnt move front to back.
and here it is with the screw in it.
Ok, that part is done. -I'm still waiting on my Temperature monitor that UPS says will be deliverd on Monday. I then can mount it and the the other stuff in the panel. Untill then, the only thing I really have to work on is the IRIS. but I'm still waiting on my buddy witht he laser cutter. I'm at his mercy so I don't know when that will get done.
I suppose I could start to work cleaning things up, mounting the power switch, switches in the front, remote dvd eject button, lights, mounting the turbine, painting, fan wireing, programing the controller, blah blah blah. Crap, I have alot to do!!!!!!!!!
